I'm October.

President at noon to-day ana invited
him to visit that city in October. The
President accepted the invitation, but
left the time of the visit to be fixed
hereafter.
The White House presented an an
mated scene this afternoon on the oc-
casion OF the reception of the delega-
ton from Missouri to invite the Presi-
dent to visit st. Louis during the State
| Fair in October. The delegation num-
bered only 100 persons, representing
| all the interests Of the city as well as
the principal sections of the State.
The President received them in the
| library and shook hands cordially with
| each.
Mayor Francis made the presenta-
tons, and when all had been received
| addressed the President to the follow
ing effect: "The disappointment con-
| seouent upon your letters of decllna-
| ton was deep and all prevailing, but
| coextensive with it wa the sentiment
of sincere approval of the patriotic
motives which prompted you to such
action. The citizens of st. Louis, ire
| spective of party, nationality or race,
in mass meeting assembled the day
| after the letters were received, with
| one voice enthusiastically resolved to
extend to yourself and your estimable
| wife a cordial invitation to visit the
| city during the first week OF October
next, and instructed their Mayor and
| committee to try and deliver the same
in person to you. Assemblages OF like
character were promptly held in al
| most every county in the State, in
| dorsing and emphasizing the action
taken in st. Louis, and we, therefore,
in obedience to the mandates of our
people, urge you to favor us with your
| presence"
In response the President said: "My
| reply to your very complimentary and
| hearty address will be very brief and
practical. At the time you did me
the honor, with SO many OF your fel-
low-citizens, to invite me to your city,
| felt that it was an invitation that
| should be declined. 1t was not at all
necessary to convince me OF your good
faith that so many OF your good peo-
| pie should come here at this mop
perfume season to bring this invita-
ton; and yet you don't know how
much it has pleased me to see you all.
| NV desire to come and see you has in
creased each day. | don't feel now
that / can do otherwise than accept
ro- Dx,+f;on Tho =, y y raraarf
made before was entirely free from
complication and presented no likeli-
hood of any. You are aware that |
agreed to visit the city Of Atlanta
early in October. l only speak thus
because when we are about to deter
mine upon a day when l a visit you
this Atlanta visit must be considered.
However, this is a matter which al
be arranged afterwards. Luckily we
have plenty of time. | shall be glad
to meet or correspond with the COM
mittee of citizens and fix a date and
make arrangements in detail but the
thing must be done. l will come"
The members Of the Cabinet and
their families were also included in
the invitation.
